This week, BTS’s Butter racked up its seventh consecutive week at #1 in the Billboard Hot 100, making it the longest-running funk-influenced #1 hit since Uptown Funk! way back in 2015.

Funk’s influence on Hot 100 Top 10 hits has fluctuated throughout the years. Since 2015 there have been 35 Top 10s with a funk influence, one quarter of which rose to #1.

In addition to Butter, below are the other funky hits that made it to the top since 2015, along with exactly what made those songs so funky:

• Uptown Funk! (Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars) – 14 weeks at #1 in 2015:
  The name says it all.  Not only is Uptown Funk the most successful funk-influenced hit of the 2010s, it’s also arguably the most authentically funky. Drawing inspiration from classic funk hits like The Gap Band’s Oops Up Side Your Head (for which they gave songwriting credit), incorporating a super-funky “doh” vocal hook and using classic funk instrumentation like Linn drum, Korg Trident synth and slap bass, Uptown Funk showed a new generation what the funk is all about.
• Can’t Feel My Face (The Weeknd) – 3 weeks at #1 in 2015:
  The song that really put The Weeknd on the map, Can’t Feel My Face blends hazy atmospherics with a super-funky bassline and Michael Jackson-style vocals to provide the listener with a contemporary yet 80s throwback funk experience.
• Can’t Stop The Feeling! (Justin Timberlake) – 1 week at #1 in 2016:
  Written specifically for the film Trolls, Timberlake, who served as executive music producer, wanted a track that brought disco into to the modern era. To help him do it, he enlisted hitmaker extraordinaires Max Martin and Shellback, and together wrote the super groovy and funky Can’t Stop The Feeling!. Like Can’t Feel My Face, this song draws heavily on Michael Jackson and features a super-funky bassline that takes center stage in the instrumental break.
• That’s What I Like (Bruno Mars) – 1 week at #1 in 2017:
  Along with Mars’ other funky #1, Uptown Funk!, That’s What I Like draws heavily on early 1980s funk with its bouncy synth bass line and funk-inspired vocals.
• Sucker (Jonas Brothers) – 1 week at #1 in 2019:
  Their only Hot 100 #1 hit, Jonas Brothers’ Sucker brings the funk in a variety of ways. Among them are the syncopated palm-muted guitar and electric bass pattern heard in multiple sections and, even more notably, the funky drum pattern that’s heard specifically in the instrumental break that harkens back to drum break classics such as James Brown’s Funky Drummer and The Winstons’ Amen Brother, among others.
• Say So (Doja Cat) – 1 week at #1 in 2020:
  Doja Cat’s breakout hit, Say So, draws heavily on 1970s disco and Funk. However, compared to some of the other songs on this list, Say So features more of a laid-back, sensual disco/funk groove a la Chic, which jibes with Doja Cat’s vibe as an artist.
• Watermelon Sugar (Harry Styles) – 1 week at #1 in 2020:
  Harry Styles’ first and only Hot 100 #1 hit, Watermelon Sugar, goes full-tilt 1970s retro, complete with funky bass, Nile Rodgers-style electric guitar, and a classic horn section to boot.
•  Dynamite (BTS) – 3 weeks at #1 in 2020:
  Dynamite was BTS’s first Hot 100 #1 hit. Drawing heavily on 1970s disco, nearly every element of the song is funky, including the vocals, electric guitar and especially the super-funky bass line.
• Butter (BTS) – 7 weeks at #1 in 2021:
  Following their funkless #1, Life Goes On, BTS brought the funk once again with their third #1, Butter. Much in line with Dynamite, they blended classic funk elements with a contemporary feel creating a super-infectious hit that’s currently in contention for Billboard’s Song of the Summer.
